Chapter 316: Magnificent Naval Battle
"What's the point of discussing that now? When the war starts, each depends on his ability.
The reason why we are only together is to reduce trouble and increase strength, is it possible that we will join forces to unify the layout later?
Hum! Amusing! ”
Mrs. Qing smiled disdainfully, and a black snake coiled on the top of the cane in her hand also spit out the letter, as if it was cooperating with Mrs. Qing's mood.
"Mrs. Qing is right, then let's rely on our own abilities."
Xiao Feng frowned slightly, and after muttering for a while, he nodded indifferently in agreement.
The rest of the people looked at each other, but none of them objected, expressing their acquiescence.
As the pirate kings of the Caribbean, they also have their own pride, isn't it just their ability? Their strength is not necessarily much worse than others.
The afterglow of the setting sun is reflected on the undulating sea, which adds a lonely blood color to this sea area.
When several clippers emerged from the sea, it didn't take long for the dense warships to emerge, and finally formed an extremely magnificent spectacle.
On the flagship of the British Armament Fleet, Nelson looked out at the silent sea around him, without the slightest expression on his face.
But the nervousness in his heart could be seen in his blinking eyes from time to time.
He was nervous not because he was afraid of being attacked, but because he was afraid that the fish would not take the bait.
Because if that happens, their entire plan will be disrupted, which will be very detrimental to the future direction of the war.
"Brigadier General, did you say that those pirates heard something and abandoned the plan?"
"Impossible! Except for a few members of the Parliament, only Lieutenant General Beckett and I know about it, and even you just told me about it, how can those pirates know?
If the pirates abandon their hunting plans, then our people will surely spread the news, and it is impossible for them to be unmoved. ”
"However, if there is a best place to do it, this is undoubtedly the best.
But so far, there hasn't been any movement......"
An officer beside Nelson frowned, but then the words were swept back by some black canvas that suddenly appeared in the West.
Nelson also noticed this scene and hurriedly picked up the telescope to look.
Dozens of towering masts appeared on the sea level in the west, and then the same scene appeared in the northwest and southwest.
Since then, more flags have appeared, and it is difficult to calculate how many there are for a while.
Without exception, the flags were all pirate flags with white skulls on a black background, but they appeared in different directions in subtle ways.
"Hahaha! These vile and filthy pirates have finally jumped out!
Hum! Now that you've entered this bait game, let's explain it all here today!
Put the mother and daughter crystal paper signal! ”
Nelson let out a hearty laugh before turning to one of the lieutenants next to him.
"Yes!"
The lieutenant nodded, then pulled out a piece of paper from his bosom that shone with a strange crystal, and then tore it open.
Seeing that all this was completed without the slightest accident, Nelson was completely relieved.
It is believed that Lieutenant General Beckett has received the agreed message at this time, and according to the preset ambush location, the reinforcements should arrive within half an hour.
And what he has to do now is to stabilize the morale of the army and find ways to hold on for half an hour.
As long as you can hold on for half an hour, then everything else will no longer be a problem!
In the face of the dense pirates swarming from all directions, the unknown low-level British soldiers were a little frightened.
They had never been in such a situation, and more than 500 warships were said to be formidable enough, and they had never expected to encounter any threat before they fought the other two dynasties.
But the sudden appearance of the scene made them shudder.
I don't know if there are thousands or tens of thousands of pirate warships, and the visual impact and psychological pressure are too great.
This made many British soldiers wonder if all the pirates of the Caribbean Sea had gathered here......
"Soldiers! Don't be afraid! Those pirates are nothing more than a school of salted fish that are about to die!
The main force of the dynastic fleet led by Vice Admiral Beckett is nearby, and they will arrive in half an hour at most!
Until then, we need to hold our ground and resist desperately.
As long as you hold on for half an hour, after half an hour there will be no pirates in the Caribbean;
And as a meritorious service, you will enjoy a rich reward and the supreme glory of being praised by all things!
Soldiers! Grab your crystal guns, polish your cannon chambers, and let those filthy pirates see the difference in strength and the power of our British Navy soldiers! ”
Nelson's words were inspiring enough, and although some soldiers were skeptical about the existence of reinforcements, they had no choice but to believe them in this situation.
The impetuous military spirit began to settle down gradually, and the battleship group also slowed down, and slowly turned around and began to assume a posture of engagement.
Feng Yiguan looked at the sea shrouded by the pirate flag, and the look of interest in his eyes was very strong.
Such a magnificent scene is too rare, and I am really lucky to be able to watch the game as a spectator.
"How's it going, Padge? Do you like to see such a scene? ”
Padge grinned and said, "Of course, Padge is very happy to see so many warships fighting together." ”
Feng Yi couldn't help but grin at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that he shouldn't ask this question, fighting, this word is really ......
"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"
As time passed, the British fleet was surrounded by pirate ships, and when the distance was reduced to the farthest range, both sides began to bombard wildly.
All of a sudden, a dull loud noise began to resound in this world without interruption, and the movement was much louder than the roar of thunder.
The bullets rained down like pillars, the waves rolled around, the firelight flashed from time to time, and the screams were not stopped.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and the British side of the battleship was able to barely maintain the situation at first by relying on the quality advantage of the crystal cannon;
But as more and more pirate warships burst closer, the pirates' superiority in the number of crystal cannons and the advantage of attacking without dead angles were revealed.
One after another, the British warships began to sink in tragic condition, and as time passed, the rate of sinking continued to accelerate.
As for the pirates, although there are constantly sunk warships, the number of sunken ships is somewhat insignificant compared to the pirates as a whole.
On top of the British flagship, Nelson shook his head and stood up with the help of the guards.
At this time, he was very different from before, and the original spotless brigadier general's uniform was not only stained with dirt and blood, but also worn like a beggar's costume.
However, his luck was good enough, you must know that the crystal bullet that was fired from nowhere just now directly concentrated the rudder, and the helmsman and a few guards next to him were all turned into minced meat;
And he narrowly escaped with his life under the desperate protection of the rest of the guards.
Nelson's ears were still buzzing, and his eyes were very empty and confused.
It had been a long time since he had experienced what it was like to be summoned by death, and he really didn't want to experience that horror if he could......
"Brigadier General! Brigadier General! Brigadier General......"
In the constant screaming and shaking of the guards, Nelson finally relented, and the dull look in his eyes gradually faded, and his face was full of anger and horror.
His ship is a seventh-class battleship! And such a mighty battleship was destroyed by a crystal bullet that came out of nowhere!
If a warship loses its rudder, it becomes a puppet that can only go straight to the ground, and in this extremely dangerous battlefield, this situation is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.
Because it can't be turned, then there is no way to avoid the crystal bombs that come from the flying attack, and the results are naturally self-evident.
Although the seventh-rank battleship can withstand more damage, the opponent's battleships and crystal cannons are too many, and if they are placed there, they will not last long.
"How much longer?"
Nelson asked with red eyes as he turned to the lieutenant who had just run to the side.
"There's still about a stick of incense.
But, Brigadier General! We've sunk half of the battleship, and nearly half of it is scarred, and we may fall apart at some point;
I am afraid that there are less than fifty people who still have sufficient combat strength, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for such a force to hold on to a stick of incense for a long time, and even if we can hold out until the reinforcements arrive, I am afraid that we will all die in our duties! ”
The lieutenant's face was also full of embarrassment, and the tone of the report was obviously a little unstable, with some crying.
"It's time, hopefully some time."
Nelson ignored the captain's cry and muttered to himself, then turned sharply to his lieutenant and shouted:
"Order the cessation flag to be hoisted, and all those meat shields to be hung out!"
"Yes!"
At a certain moment, when the gray battle flags were hoisted on the main masts of many ships of the British fleet, the originally fierce cannon fire suddenly froze for a short time, and then it gradually stopped in an extremely strange way......
Northern.
"King of the Earth, why did those British pigs suddenly hang up the battle flag? Do they want to surrender? But shouldn't the white flag be hoisted for surrender?
What exactly do they want to do? It's weird......"
Cheval glared angrily at the subordinate who spoke, "You ask me, who do I ask?" But it doesn't matter, they'll be destroyed soon, and let's see what tricks they want to play. ”
In the northwest, Barbossa teased Jack on the shoulder, and sighed regretfully:
"Seeing that the battle is about to end, and that hateful Jack Sparrow is still nowhere to be seen, I am so angry that this king is really angry!
Originally, I wanted to take the opportunity to settle accounts with him, but it seems that there should be no chance.
But these British pigs are also interesting, seeing that they can't be beaten, is it possible to want to dance a few dances and pray for mercy?
Hahaha......"
"Squeak ......"
